Back in the before time, the best practices surrounding usage of Context
weren't quite worked out. We defined our own type to make usage easier.
As this packaged was used elsewhere, it make it more and more
challenging to integrate with the forked `Context` type. Now that it is
available in the standard library, we can just use that one directly.
To make usage more consistent, we now use `dcontext` when referring to
the distribution context package.

In some conditions, regulator.exit may not send a signal to blocked
regulator.enter.
Let's assume we are in the critical section of regulator.exit and r.available
is equal to 0. And there are three more gorotines. One goroutine also executes
regulator.exit and waits for the lock. Rest run regulator.enter and wait for
the signal.
We send the signal, and after releasing the lock, there will be lock
contention:
1. Wait from regulator.enter
2. Lock from regulator.exit
If the winner is Lock from regulator.exit, we will not send another signal to
unlock the second Wait.

This commit refactors base.regulator into the 2.4 interfaces and adds a
filesystem configuration option `maxthreads` to configure the regulator.
By default `maxthreads` is set to 100. This means the FS driver is
limited to 100 concurrent blocking file operations. Any subsequent
operations will block in Go until previous filesystem operations
complete.
This ensures that the registry can never open thousands of simultaneous
threads from os filesystem operations.
Note that `maxthreads` can never be less than 25.
Add test case covering parsable string maxthreads

It's easily possible for a flood of requests to trigger thousands of
concurrent file accesses on the storage driver. Each file I/O call creates
a new OS thread that is not reaped by the Golang runtime. By limiting it
to only 100 at a time we can effectively bound the number of OS threads
in use by the storage driver.
